I don't understand how this coin could have possibly been minted in Canada...

Was this coin minted before Anoka became the Halloween Capital of the World?

It literally has to be from Newfoundland, not sure if I feel mislead or not.

Recap:
We have a coin dated after 1913 and before 1920.
Recap:
The coin was minted in Canada.
The denomination of this coin is greater than 6 and less than 66.
The silver content of this coin is greater than 80%.
The coin is not a Canada 1918 50 cent or 25 cent coin
Hint: There is something about this coin that is related to the coin of the previous round. But it may not be the most obvious thing.
Hint: the coin has a mintmark that indicates it was minted in Canada
